But the most attracting idea for me is
to reanimate IE and try to adapt it to modern life. Why not?
'Neo-Indo-European' is an intriguing idea. PIE, of course, cannot
be accurately recovered and turned back into living language, and even if it
were, it would undoubtedly be hideously irregular, no matter which stage you
chose as your base.
On the other hand, if you synthesized a 'regularized' Neo-IE, by more or
less creating a hybrid out of Sanskrit, Latin, Greek, Old Church Slavonic and
Lithuanian, I wonder what we'd get, and how difficult it would be to learn.
